[Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!] 】

Eric had previously been financially healthy, barely able to break even with its existing copyright income; He has experience in filmmaking, as well as the ability to distribute DVDs and contact theaters for screening......

However, a recent movie has suffered serious losses, and the boss originally started this company out of interest, and it is not easy to support it until now, and now it is suddenly facing losses, and it is immediately impossible to persevere. This is the fate of some of Hollywood's smaller studios, where everything is good when the company makes money, and when it loses money, it faces bankruptcy and collapse.

It seems that if he doesn't buy it, the movie won't last long, and when the chairman starts to get depressed, and there are no good movies from them in the future, it means that they are not far from shutting down.

This is the main reason why many small Hollywood studios are changing so quickly.

It didn't cost much to buy the company, and the appraiser threw the whole company into a mess, including office desks and chairs, televisions, computers, and things like not so much new...... In the end, it was estimated that Eric Pictures was worth about $2.8 million, but their last film was heavily loss......

After negotiations between the two parties, Hu Yifei offered 2 million, but the other party did not agree. After some haggling, an agreement was reached for $2.5 million to buy all the shares of the company, officially becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the family studios. The business was generally profitable, and Hu Yifei directly changed Eric's name to "Family", which was simple and trouble-free.

The company was bought, and dozens of employees in the original Eric company were all blinded, and some worried employees were full of despair, "I won't be unemployed, God, I just took out a loan to buy a house." "Oh my God, the boss is a 20-year-old Chinese, a 20-year-old ......", "God bless me, I don't want to lose this job. ”……

Everyone was trembling, even in the workshop, absent-minded. Many people couldn't help but quietly inquire about the news, and those who had a way simply found another way out, not wanting to wait for death in this company.

On the first day after the company officially changed hands, Hu Yifei, as the boss, did not appear. Min Suyuan and Zhou Yan appeared in his place, had some conversations with the original company leader, and then summoned all employees and issued the first order: "The company wants to expand its recruitment, and the first step is to recruit another 20~30 3D animation talents, and the rest of the staff positions remain unchanged for the time being." However, at the end of the year, there will be a work assessment, and those who are competent will stay, and those who are not competent will leave. Those who have outstanding work performance will be promoted and raised. ”

Before she could finish speaking, the employees applauded and whistled vigorously, and everyone was smiling. For days, what they were most afraid of was hearing the new boss say "layoffs", but now, they can temporarily let go of their suspense.

Min Suyuan was calm, and Zhou Yan sighed a little, "It seems familiar." If I had stayed in Shangmei Factory, I guess I would have been in the same situation as them. ”

Min Suyuan said: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, what do you want to do so much." With a wave of his hand, he calmed everyone down and continued: "Now the second order is issued, and the company is about to start shooting the next movie. The investment in this film will not be less than 5 million dollars, which is not a large investment in the United States, but it is the largest investment in our company to make a film to date. What our boss is best at is to make a big deal with a small one, and each movie has a yield of dozens of times. "Source Code" won $80 million at the global box office with a production cost of $2 million, relying on everyone's concerted efforts and excellence! ”

"I hope that everyone will take care of the personal matters at hand as soon as possible, and be ready to go all out to fight the first battle of the company."

"Oh God!"

The employees were overjoyed and cheered, and they applauded excitedly, "Great, the risk of layoffs is gone, there will be big movies to be made, it doesn't get much better than this." Their company hasn't made a movie in a long time. ”

……

Entering the middle of September, the domestic biennial Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award is coming.

This award is the largest film award in China, but it is quite chaotic: it is a merger of the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award and the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award. Hu Yifei has been in the circle for nearly two years, but he still hasn't figured out what the difference is between the two, and where is the focus? Basically, it is an expert review, a public review. But the judges of this award are pitiful, they are all some old-timers with old qualifications, who seriously lack credibility, and most of the time they are entertaining themselves. Even the Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Award, which is known as the public, is very stingy, with serious black-box operations and a lack of transparency.

The 27th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award and the 24th China Film Golden Rooster Award jointly held the 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award Gala in Yinchuan, Ningxia on September 19. "The Big Exercise" and "Crazy Stone" were both shortlisted, and Hu Yifei was even shortlisted for Best Actor, Best Debut Female Film, Best Director, Best Feature Film and many other awards.

According to the rules of the common name, don't think about winning the prize if you don't show up.

Hu Yifei unfortunately, except for the Best Feature Film Award for "The Big Exercise", "Mobile Phone" and "Warm Spring", the rest of the Hundred Flowers Awards were all lost. It was Fan Binbin's historic title of the Hundred Flowers Award, which made her very excited.

The Golden Rooster Award is more professional, the Best Actor lost to Liu Ye's "Beauty Grass", and the Best Actress laid a double yolk egg again. Even the Best Debut Award was awarded to "On the Way to School", and the family film industry returned empty-handed. Han Mixing rushed and returned in disappointment, so angry that she kept calling Hu Yifei and complaining.

Not only did the family film industry fail, but Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" also received nothing, and the entire crew of "Mobile Phone" went to the Golden Rooster Awards to cheer on him, but he was directly hung with zero eggs. Even Ge You didn't get anything. directly made him so angry that he scolded before he walked out of the award ceremony, and the Golden Rooster Award with a big mouth has become a toy for some people to control public opinion, seriously lacking credibility and transparency. bombarded the judges' small belly and chicken intestines, they don't understand movies, and they deserve to live in art films for the rest of their lives. Commercialization is indispensable for the development of Chinese films. Not all commercial films are not artistic, but they were beaten to death with a stick, it's really bullish!

He won't come again, "Go play with yourselves!" ”

Well, the two most appealing directors are not coming.

In the future, there will be no Hu Yifei at the Shanghai Film Festival, no Hu Yifei at the Golden Rooster Awards, and no Feng Xiaogang, so he will really be idle and play by himself.

There are two cannon barrels in China, one large and one small, which are famous.

Hu Yifei comforted Han Mi and called Fan Binbin again to congratulate her on her posthumousness.

"Hmph, just talk about it." Fan Binbin was proud, even though it was only the Hundred Flowers Award, it was also a movie queen. The only pity is that the Golden Rooster Award was taken away by Zhang Ziyi and Zheng Zhenyao, and it will be even more perfect if it wins the Golden Rooster Award.

"No, I want to do it. But the whip can't reach the Pacific Ocean. After drying a movie, it must be particularly flavorful. ”

Fan Bin gritted his teeth politely, "Get out of the old lady." ”

At the same time, "Prison Break" is finally going to air on CBS in the evening slot.

Before that, Hu Yifei's cool posture with tattoos all over his body had been played back and forth in the exciting trailer for more than half a month, which really attracted the attention of American audiences. That night, countless people waited in front of the TV to see what it really was. (To be continued.) )
